Annual / Quarterly Financial Statement
Open in ViewerOpens in native device viewer
"The economic recession kept the business environment challenging throughout the year. In spite of that, our profitability continued to improve. There are several factors behind this positive development. In Environmental Services, our market position was improved by strong sales work and targeted business acquisitions. In Industrial Services, we achieved growth and improved profitability in spite of the difficult market situation by improving the efficiency of our operations. In Facility Services, the structural changes and improvements in operational efficiency we have already implemented began to be reflected in the result, but the market situation remained challenging. In line with our strategy, our focus in the prevailing economic situation is on strengthening our market position and ensuring profitability and cash flow through the development of our business operations and by business acquisitions.

The net sales of the comparison period includes EUR 4.6 million in net sales from the Latvian business operations that were divested on 13 March 2014, as well as EUR 0.5 million of operating profit, most of which is allocated to the Environmental Services division.
The growth in operating profit excluding non-recurring items was mainly attributable to the improved profitability of Environmental Services and Facility Services.
The operating profit for the final quarter was affected by non-recurring capital gains on the divestment of the FinBin business operations and the sale of equipment in the Renewable Energy Sources division, totalling EUR 2.2 million, and non-recurring restructuring costs of EUR 1.4 million.
Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for the year 2014 amounted to EUR 639.7 million (EUR 668.2 million); a decrease of 4.3%. Operating profit was EUR 48.5 million (EUR 33.2 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 53.8 million (EUR 51.8 million), representing 8.4% (7.8%) of net sales. Earnings per share were EUR 0.47 (EUR 0.57).
Comparable net sales grew in the Environmental Services and Industrial Services divisions, but decreased in the Facility Services and Renewable Energy Sources divisions.
The 2014 figures include EUR 2.9 million (EUR 16.6 million) in net sales from the Latvian business operations that were divested on 13 March 2014 as well as EUR 0.4 million (EUR 1.3 million) of operating profit, most of which is allocated to the Environmental Services division.
The operating profit for 2014 includes non-recurring items at a net amount of EUR 5.3 million. Of these, EUR 6.4 million were non-recurring costs relating to holdings in EcoStream Oy, which has filed for bankruptcy, and to outstanding receivables from the EcoStream Group and L&T Recoil. In addition, a non-recurring capital gain of EUR 1.1 million was recognised on the Latvian business operations and a write-down of EUR 0.2 million on inventories of discontinued business operations under Renewable Energy Sources. The operating profit was also affected by non-recurring capital gains on the divestment of the FinBin business operations and the sale of equipment in the Renewable Energy Sources division, totalling EUR 2.2 million, and non-recurring restructuring costs of EUR 1.4 million.
Business acquisitions made during 2014 had an effect of EUR 3.1 million on the company's net sales and EUR 0.6 million on operating profit.
Furthermore, the Group's net profit was affected by the EUR 16.7 million payment made under the L&T Recoil guarantee commitment and recognised in financial expenses. After the entries related to EcoStream Group's insolvency, the company has no liabilities related to EcoStream Oy and L&T Recoil.

** Proposal by the Board of Directors
The division's net sales for the final quarter decreased by 1.3% to EUR 64.8 million (EUR 65.7 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 10.8 million (EUR 2.9 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 9.0 million (EUR 7.9 million).
Comparable net sales increased by 1.2% due to sales work which strengthened market position. Demand continued to grow in waste management.
The net sales of the comparison period includes EUR 3.3 million in net sales from the Latvian business operations that were divested on 13 March 2014.
The division's profitability improved due to factors including synergies achieved through business acquisitions and continuous improvements in operational efficiency.
The Environmental Services division's net sales for 2014 amounted to EUR 254.5 million (EUR 257.9 million), showing a decrease of 1.3%. Operating profit totalled EUR 37.3 million (EUR 30.1 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 35.9 million (EUR 35.1 million).
Demand in the recycling business was weakened particularly by the decrease in the volume of recyclable materials due to the slowdown in construction and commerce. Demand grew particularly in waste management and Russian operations.
Comparable net sales increased by 1.5%. The net sales of 2014 includes EUR 2.1 million (EUR 12.2 million) from the Latvian business operations that were divested on 13 March 2014.
The profitability of operations improved due to factors including synergies achieved through business acquisitions and continuous improvements in operational efficiency, although the weakened profitability of municipal contracts weighed down on the division's operating profit.
The division's net sales for the final quarter totalled EUR 20.3 million (EUR 20.9 million), showing a decrease of 2.8%. Operating profit was EUR 1.6 million (EUR 1.6 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 2.1 million (EUR 2.7 million).
The demand for services remained strong in hazardous waste management, and also grew slightly in process cleaning. Demand remained unchanged from the comparison period in sewer maintenance and decreased in environmental construction.
Operating profit excluding non-recurring items declined primarily due to the weakened profitability of process cleaning and sewer maintenance in a tight competitive situation.
The Industrial Services division's net sales for 2014 totalled EUR 77.8 million (EUR 75.5 million), showing an increase of 3.0%. Operating profit was EUR 6.5 million (EUR 5.2 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 7.1 million (EUR 6.7 million).
Net sales increased in hazardous waste management, sewer maintenance and process cleaning. In environmental construction, net sales were lower than in the previous year.
The division improved the profitability of its operations as a result of efficiency improvement measures and increasing volume.
The division's net sales for the final quarter were down by 4.1% to EUR 68.8 million (EUR 71.7 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 1.7 million (operating loss EUR 5.6 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 2.6 million (EUR 1.4 million).
The division's net sales declined year-on-year due to planned business downsizing in Sweden and low demand for damage repair services. In addition, net sales was impacted by lower demand for services in the cleaning and property maintenance businesses. The demand for maintenance of technical systems remained strong.
Profitability improved significantly in maintenance of technical systems and Swedish cleaning operations. Profitability was also affected by the management of personnel costs in the cleaning business. Nevertheless, the division's operating profit was affected by the continued decline in the profitability of damage repair services.
The Facility Services division's net sales for 2014 amounted to EUR 274.7 million (EUR 292.5 million), showing a decrease of 6.1%. Operating profit totalled EUR 10.6 million (EUR 4.4 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 11.7 million (EUR 11.9 million).
The division's net sales declined year-on-year due to planned business downsizing in Sweden and lower than normal demand for damage repair services and seasonal work in cleaning services and property maintenance.
The division's profitability was decreased by the lower demand for additional services in the cleaning and property maintenance businesses and by the weak profitability of damage repair services. In maintenance of technical systems, profitability developed favourably during the year due to higher demand.
The demand for the division's additional services declined, which had a negative impact on both net sales and profitability. The entire division is undergoing a major reorganisation process in order to adapt operations to the changes in market conditions, which affects the profitability.
Final quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were down by 24.4% to EUR 12.0 million (EUR 15.8 million). The operating profit was EUR 1.0 million (EUR 0.6 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.6 million).
The decrease in net sales was attributable to the later start of the heating season.
As a result of efficiency improvement measures, operational efficiency improved year-on-year. The operating profit was affected by a write-down of EUR 0.3 million on the company's inventory.
The net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) in 2014 were down by 23.8% to EUR 44.2 million (EUR 58.0 million). Operating profit was EUR 1.6 million (EUR 1.4 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 1.4 million (EUR 1.1 million).
The decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to the short heating season early in the year, the delayed start to the heating season compared to the previous year, and the planned downsizing of unprofitable operations.
As a result of efficiency improvement measures, profitability improved in spite of decrease in net sales.
